Ring size?

I would like to buy the wife a "One Ring." I have no local source. How do I figure out her size?

Hi Kuan,
im not entirely sure what a "One Ring" is, but if its a piece of jewellery, and its a surprise, then this might work. Does your wife wear a ring at all, even like costume/occasional pieces? if so, and she wouldnt miss it for a day, grab it and take it to a nearby gemstore. or if theres a jewellery maker/artist near you, even better. they will have a ring bar kinda like a butchers steel - a tapering rod that has graduated ring sizes on it. the ring will slide up to the corresponding size.

if its something from Tolkien your looking for, then may the Farce be with you

Tony

Yep yep, it's a dorky gift I know.

She's got loads of jewelry. I'm gonna "borrow" a ring. Why didn't I think of that?

No gift to a spouse/loved one is "dorky" IMO.

It would only be dorky if you plan on wearing it yourself, especially if your trying to figure out what your ring size is...

Hey Kuan, I'll be living up "there" in another three weeks. I can get deals (at cost) on rings, watches, you name it. PM if interested.
Hey! That's what happens to you when have to clean up the baby boomers's crap and build cribs for Gen X'ers.

So can you get the one ring at cost too?
